Screen on the Green, the City of Hartsville’s free summertime movie series, will show “The BFG” in Burry Park, 131 Cargill Way, on Sat., July 8, sponsored by Carolina Bank.
Based on the book by Roald Dahl, Disney’s “The BFG” tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a young girl named Sophie and the Big Friendly Giant (BFG) as they work together to rid the world of the bad giants that are out to get humans. To get rid of these giants for good, Sophie and the BFG embark on the adventure of a lifetime as they travel through London to find Queen Victoria and ask for her help. This film is rated PG for action/peril, some scary moments and brief rude humor.
The screening begins at dusk, 9:04 p.m. or later. Viewers are welcome to bring chairs and blankets if desired. In the event of rain, the showing will relocate to the Coach T.B. Thomas Sports Center at Byerly Park, located at 701 W. Washington St. in Hartsville.
“Hartsville has always bucked the norm in that it is extremely proactive in promoting community events and activities designed to promote inclusivity and togetherness,” says Jamie Morphis, Sr. Vice President of Carolina Bank, “We are a community bank and feel our role is to support worthwhile community activities, such as Screen on the Green, to be successful.”
The Rotary Club of Hartsville will be selling hotdogs as a fundraiser for their organization. Snow cones and drinks will also be available for purchase through City of Hartsville Parks and Recreation.
Following this event, Screen on the Green will continue throughout the rest of the summer with the following schedule:
- July 22 – “Finding Dory” sponsored by North Industrial Machine
- August 5 – “Sing” sponsored by Hartsville Police Department and Fire Department (National Night Out special showing)
